This report describes 11 automation projects in the Suffolk County Probation Department (New York) implemented since 1983 to increase probation officer productivity.

Abstract

Projects are the Probation Automated Family Court Systems, the Probation Conditional Discharge Restitution Project, the Probation Automated Archiving Process, the Probation Automated Restitution Project, the Probation Automated Systems Planning Committee, and the Automated Compact Case Load Program. Other automation projects described are the Automated Probation Management Information System, the Probation Automated Warrant Enforcement Unit, the Probation Automated Level III Adult Supervision Program, the Automated Presentence Investigation Referral System, the Probation Criminal Information Retrieval System, and the Professional Productivity Project. The format for describing each project encompasses problem/concern, solution, county role, costs, results, and contact persons. As of March 1987, the systems have been used for the automated processing of over 8,000 presentence investigations in both criminal and family courts. Data processing applications have been expanded to 1,812 criminal court cases based in Yaphank and over 10,000 annual family court petitions filed in Hauppauge. These functions are approximately 35 percent of the department's overall information processing tasks.
